If Joseph and Molly continue to collect in this way, how many coins will each person have after 10 months? Enter your answers in the boxes. After 10 months, Joseph will have coins in his collection, and Molly will have coins in her collection.

Answer 1

Joseph will have 265 coins and Molly will have 275 coins after ten months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph already has 15 coins and adds 25 coins after each month. So after ten months the total number of coins Joseph will have is
`15+25* 10=265` coins.

Molly already has 25 coins and adds 25 coins after each month. So after ten months the total number of coins Joseph will have is
`25+25* 10=275` coins.

So, Joseph will have 265 coins and Molly will have 275 coins after ten months.
